Thanks for the detailed writeup! Both those farms sound quite interesting.

SECO.

Stage 1 landing confirmed!

MECO, stage separation, M-vac ignition, and fairing separation.

Liftoff!

Webcast is live. Vandenberg is foggy.

• Pad 2: S41 is destacked from B21. (NSF, StarshipGazer, RGV Aerial)
• Production site: Eight large HVAC units have been installed on the Gigabay roof. (Avid Space)
• Future booster optimization: "We might be able to reduce to 2 grid fins and use S-turns for the third axis of control" (Elon, in reply to Dodd)
• 444 acre site: Concrete has been poured, and a new road is under construction. (RGV Aerial, JerryPikePhoto)
• Flight 14: Temporary flight restrictions for Starbase are posted for Sep 28th 12:00 to 14:08 UTC (07:00 to 09:08) with backups on Sep 29th and 30th. (tfr.faa.gov, NSF)
• The on-site countdown clock is running. (StarshipGazer)
• Louisiana: Town hall notes. (LouisianaModelY, thecurrentla)
• Bridge work is the first priority, with road upgrades coming soon.
• About 40,000 acres will be developed, with the other two-thirds accessible to the public for hunting and fishing.
• Pads will be spaced apart to enable operational flights during construction of additional pads.
• Target flight rate of 10k launches per year.
• Expect most activity around sunrise and sunset. (Not surprising if they're targeting day-night terminator SSO)
• First permits should start showing up soon.

That looks delicious!

What is the yellow disc? Egg yolk?

I doubt any billionaires will be living on the moon any time soon. It'll be a pretty uncomfortable place to live for the foreseeable future. Like camping in the bush, but worse.

*Disclaimer: Not mammalian otters. Spacecraft to conduct observations and proximity operations on defunct satellites.

I don't think cheap launch is "over". There might be a slight increase in prices as Falcon 9 winds down, but New Glenn, Neutron, Nova, all seem poised to take its place. The "chomper" variant of Starship would also suffice, though that may not be SpaceX's priority at the moment.

end based copper farm

That sounds cool. Did the Drowned spawn in the End, or were they spawned in the overworld and shuttled through the portal?

Zombie spawner and just wait for them to convert to Drowned

Just as a note, while zombie reinforcement farms are an excellent source of copper, the converted zombies will not drop tridents or nautilus shells.

The webcast hosts and the team in mission control have donned party hats to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Launch Complex 1.

Payload separation confirmed.

Curie cutoff confirmed. Nominal final orbit achieved.

Curie ignition confirmed.

SECO and kickstage separation confirmed.

Battery hotswap confirmed.

MECO, stage separation, Rutherford vacuum engine ignition, and fairing separation confirmed.

Liftoff!
